Material Availability - The Supply-Demand Gap for Plastic Recyclates

Magazine – UPP 01/2025

Recyclates are becoming mandatory - but is supply keeping up?

Recycling rates are rising, and regulations are becoming stricter - yet the availability of recyclates is lagging behind. In the latest issue of our customer magazine UPP, we take an in-depth look at the challenge of material availability: What obstacles stand in the way of a functioning circular economy - and what solutions already exist? At the same time, we highlight how innovation, functionality, and sustainability go hand in hand to make packaging fit for the future.

Some of the topics in this issue:

  • Material availability - closing the gap
    With stricter recycling quotas and the upcoming EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), the industry is under pressure. This article explains why high-quality recyclates could become scarce - and how collaboration, innovation, and circular thinking can help close the gap.
  • Retort barrier packaging - when things heat up
    Packaging that can withstand high-temperature sterilization and still keep food fresh, safe, and shelf-stable without refrigeration? Our barrier solutions ensure food safety and convenience.
  • Smart packaging innovations - meet the CUBO and the Click In sealing lid
    The CUBO’s square shape improves logistics, reduces waste, and maximizes on-shelf visibility. The Click In seal lid replaces the traditional sealing foil, improves recyclability, and can be resealed securely and leak-proof with a distinctive “click”.
